maybe you should wait...


:lol:



















Or...

try to make sure the Zip is set to 4. in the back of it. and that its properly connected.

then make sure you just have the Zip connected. NOTHING else. try to do it then.

Turn on zip first. Then MPC.

now look for SCSI 5. or watever the zip is registered to. ...

should work.

As M2P0C00 say's, sounds like you have a paralell drive not a scsi one.
Check this thread to identify your drive

If it turns out not to be SCSI, it's useless to your mpc.
